Hey Andreas,
If you are the author of the plugin, I would recommend checking out
plugman, which is cordova's tool for installing and uninstalling plugins
automatically into/from a cordova project:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugman.git;a=summary
In the README, there is a specification for a plugin.xml manifest. This
file describes what makes up your plugin, and the plugman tool uses this
manifest to run the installation and uninstallation. It supports the
following use cases, which seem to align with your objectives:
- <asset> or <js-module> elements that can be nested under a particular
<platform> element, denoting platform-specific web assets or javascript
modules that should be included in the plugin only for certain platforms.
- also has a <config-file> element allowing to automatically add/remove
sections from various cordova and native project configuration files.
For a few examples check out PhoneGap Build's plugins:
https://github.com/phonegap-build
They all have a plugin.xml manifest.
